Goals

The specific aims of the HSS CAS Center are to:

• Develop a CAS Research Laboratory, designed as a (digital) simulated O/R, dedicated to the development, research, and implementation of surgical navigation and robotics.
• Promote and facilitate the adoption of CAS technologies into the O/R.
• Conduct pioneering research in CAS technologies, focusing on the integration of surgical navigation and robotics with arthroscopy, arthroplasty, and spine procedures.
• Participate in product development with navigation and robotic companies.
• Provide training for surgeons in the principles and utilization of CAS techniques.
• Establish strategies to assimilate data generated from CAS systems into electronic medical records and clinical research databases.
